Ride the Sky: The Music of Flight

[thirdform]

why is flight harder to capture in music than locomotion/the highway?

because it can easily devolve into frictionless cliche.

A ghastly favourite of @blissblogger - which he will have to answer to Allah for on the day of kiyamet.


This stuff really is like catnip, can imagine enjoying it on 10 garys before a heart attack.

(gary UK slang for MDMA pills)

Rhythm is repetitive contact with the ground.

Rhythm is repetitive contact with the ground.

some people are wedded to the ground, can't afford the fare to experience flight

[version]

A staff or timeline itself looks like a road or tracks, and trains, cars and music sit on top of those linear structures. The sky's open in all directions.

Non-Linear Music

Mark Fell's talked about his dislike of the linear/horizontal timeline and workflow in standard music software, which is why he opts to use stuff like Max/MSP, but is genuinely non-linear music possible? Something like drone seems the closest we can get to it, but even that has slight variations...

The song's lyrics are, for the most part, about the group's flight to London in August 1965

sometimes its less about speed but more about gliding and floating.

I like the way DJ Magic Mike rubs it in our face that he gets to fly with his "intermissions"


Track 23: Vicious Base ft DJ Magic Mike - Flight Back To Orlando ( from "back to haunt you" LP )


DJ Magic Mike - Flight To Seattlet

I once saw DJ Magic Mike and DJ Assault on a double bill in Manchester playing to a room of 23 people

Motorhead - Bomber

the ultimate aeronautical tune?

edit: I still get nagged that I threw away the sweat drenched ticket that Lemmy signed for me in Bracknell sports centre on the first UK date of the "Bomber" tour

 

[william_kent]

the Bomber tour was amazing!

they had a "bomber" lighting rig that dipped and dived

plus they had the leftovers from the "Overkill" tour so they had this thing as well
